and Thursday evenings of last week
His entertainments were good. His
recitations and crayon sketches were
creditable and his impersonations
were very fine. AS Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, as Sara Bernhardt and as
Bridget MaGinnis, he brought down
the house. Notwithstanding the
merit of his entertainments we are
sorry to say that they were not well
patronized aud in getting Mr.. Smith
to come here, the G. A. II. did not
make expenses.
Bill Nye to newspaper patrons:
"Don't attempt to cheat an editor OUT
of a years subscription of his paper
or any sum. Cheat the minister, the
Neutrality-suspicious. If you have
any regard for your future cohse-
auences, don't fool with printer
He will get even with you and more
too. You will be put up for once
some time, or want some pubic

thing of beauty and 10y forever
the printer will open upon you ana
knock your air castle into a cooked
hat at the first blow"

Few men come up to their highest
measure of success. Some fail through
timidlty. or lack of nerve. They are
unwilling to take the risks incident
to life, and fail through fear i'll ven
turing on ordinary duties. They lack
pluck. Others fail through impru-
dence, lack of discretion. care or
sound Judgment. They over-esti-
mate the future, and build air castles,
ard venture beyond their depth, and
fail and fall. Others again, fail
through lack of application and per-
severence. They begin with good re-
solves, but soon get tired of that, and
want change, thinking they can do
much better at something else. Thus
they fritter life away, and succeed at
nothing. Others waste time and
money, and fail for want of economy.
Many fail through ruinous habits;
tobacco, whisky, and beer spoil them
for business, drive their best custo-
mers from them, and scatter their
prospects of success. Some fail for
want of brains, education, and fitness
for their calling; they lack a knowl-
edge of human nature and of the
motives that actuate men. They have
not qualified themselves for their oc-
cupation by practical education,

The railway commissioners have
ordered three cent passenger rate
upon both the Manitoba and Northern
Pacific roads and, in accordance with
the law of the state, have declared
the tariff rates upon both roads
changed to correspond with their
order. Still the roads are collecting
the old four cent rate, The action OF
the roads in this is clearly In defiance
of law and we suggest that there is
now chance to have a little fun
with them at their own expense.
Next time you want to go anywhere,
| if not very particular whether you
get there or not, offer the station
agent at the place of starting three
cents per mi lie for ticket to destina'
ton. He will refuse to let you have
it. Next enter the cars. Offer the
conductor the same amount. He will
refuse 1t and put you off the train
THEN you bring suit against the com
pany for $4,000 damages, more OF
less according to circumstances, anc
get the money. Let this be tried al
along the lines SO that two or three
hundred suits per day will be bropgh
against the companies during thu
winter months and we feel certain
that by spring they will be ready t.
obey the law and carry people TO
three cents per mile.
